Lyrics

Celeste Aida
Se quel guerrier
Io fossi! se il mio sogno
S’avverasse… Un esercito di prodi
Da me guidato… e la vittoria… e il plauso
Di Menfi tutta! E a te, mia dolce Aida,
Tornar di lauri cinto…
Dirti: per te ho pugnato, per to ho vinto!
Celeste Aida, forma divina.
Mistico serto di luce e fior,
Del mio pensiero tu sei regina,
Tu di mia vita sei lo splendor.
Il tuo bel cielo vorrei redarti,
Le dolci brezze del patrio suol;
Un regal serta sul crin posarti,
Ergerti un trono vicino al sol.
Celeste Aida, forma divina,
Mistico raggio di luce e fior, ecc.

Lyrics translation

Celeste Aida
If what warrior
I was! if my dream
If it were to come true ... an army of prodi
Led by me ... and victory... and praise
All Menfi! And to you, my sweet Aida,
Giro di lauri cinto…
To tell you: for you I fought, for you I won!
Celeste Aida, divine form.
Mystic Set of light and flower,
Of my thought you are Queen,
You of my life are the splendor.
Your beautiful sky I'd like to give you back,
The gentle breezes of the motherland;
A regal serta on the horsehair posarti,
Raise a throne near the sun.
Heavenly Aida, divine form,
Mystical ray of light and fior, etc.
